Dr. Who's Sonic Screwdriver Exists 179
Phoghat writes "Television's favourite Time Lord could not exist without his trusty sonic screwdriver, as it's proved priceless in defeating Daleks and keeping the Tardis in check. Now Doctor Who's famous cure-all gadget could become a reality for DIY-ers across the world, say engineers. Ultrasonic engineers at Bristol University and The Big Bang: UK Young Scientists and Engineers Fair are uncovering how a real life version of the fictional screwdriver — which uses sonic technology to open locks and undo screws — could be created."

The Doctor used the sonic screwdriver because it couldn't be used as a weapon to kill or maim.
Just sayin'. :-P

I swear, writing inaccurate headlines that give impressions 180 degrees from the story facts is an art that you just can't teach.
